Asia Chronicle, a New Online Journal, Launches

It's a big week for Asia. Election results are due in India, swine flu has claimed its first cases in Asia and countries from Japan to Pakistan are experiencing political turmoil of one kind or another. How to stay informed? Asia Chronicle.

Asia Chronicle, an online journal focused on national and regional issues in Asia, today officially debuts its website, asiachroniclenews.com. Launching at a moment when interest in Asia is at its peak and Asian topics dominate the news, Asia Chronicle seeks to be the premiere website for policymakers, students, academics, researchers, businesses, and anyone else who wants to keep abreast of developments in politics, security, and economics. Unlike most of its competitors, Asia Chronicle is always free, always up to date, and always interactive. Browsing Asia Chronicle with any specific or general purpose is simple and convenient, thanks to article indexing based on region and topic. This system means that Japan specialists can read only articles relevant to their field and business leaders can focus on matters of trade, finance, and economics without sifting through the entire publication. Additionally, Asia Chronicle features regular columns from top writers on international issues as well as reviews of Asia-related books; the site also hosts a Daily Discussion forum allowing users to interact with each other and talk about what's happening on the world's largest and most populous continent. A free newsletter highlighting the week’s top Asia stories is available as an email subscription.
